I believe that EPS is going to be the new standard with socket939
motherboards

I count 24 wires on this.

The opposite way around, it should be possible to use atx power supply
on eps motherboard. I know that for a dual socketa board like Iwill
Mpx2 it was possible.

A quick search shows adapter cables exist:

It should just work if there is enough space around the 20-pin connector
on the board (i.e. nothing is blocking the 4 pins from the 24-pin
connector which are not used). It will only fit one way.
